I'm pretty sure you could stiffen up the Fit and make it better than that cruddy Focus.

dude, please. if you knew your numbers, or anything about the global platform that its based on, you wouldn't have anything to say. The mazda 3
IS NOT A US SPEC FORD FOCUS, its the euro version which is a totally different car. It shares its underpinnings with the volvo s40, the c30(which interstingly enough, puts up handling and acceleration numbers equal to that of the mini cooper s, a car that you said he should be comparing the fit to) and the mazdaspeed 3(which blows everything in its class away.)
they both do different things well, but from an economy standpoint, the fit does take the cake. (mazdas are more expensive to service.)
The mazda 3 has a great platform, and if you read reviews on both cars, you'll see that they compete very well, and the mazda is slightly more upscale.
but all this 'its just a lame ford focus' crap is lame. Get your crap right, and stop being a honda fan boy and recognize what other automakers have done. I'm a huge honda fan, and i can acknowledge this, why can't you?:confused: its people like you (not the orginal poster, i'm talking to forpinks) who give the big 'h' a bad name, because you tout this ridiculous attitude of superiority of your car, with out any basis or investigation on other vehicles. get a life man.
to the op: if you like the way the fit looks; go for it. i love the way they both look, but if the emphasis is fun to drive, with a good dose of economy the fit is it.
